Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, [email protected]
Standard tuning
Comments: Lots of keyboard-pads on this one. But, underneath all that there
is a guitar. It is heavily distorted and basically just plays chords through-
out the song. There is a little fill-type thing going on in the second verse.
Im guessing its actually played by the keyboard but its in the back of the
mix so I cant really tell. It is transcribed here as Riff 2.

MY WAY

[Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 3]
[Rhy. Fig 4]
[Rhy. Fig 6]
Oh the heat is on, and my back's against the wall
You know it's tough to be strong, in a world that makes you crawl
[Rhy. Fig 7]
I'm never gonna stop, I'm never gonna give up in the fight
[Rhy. Fig 8]
'Cause after the battle is done, all you've got left is your pride
[Rhy. Fig 1]
I'm gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
[Rhy. Fig 2]
I'm gonna go where I go, ain't takin' no my way
[Rhy. Fig 6 w/ Riff 2]
Here in the danger zone, it's a jagged edge we climb
But if you take it like stone, and stand on your own
You can make the grade in time
[Rhy. Fig 7]
I'm never gonna run, I'm never gonna tell myself a lie
[Rhy. Fig 9]
'Cause after it's all said and done, I won't be wonderin' why
[Rhy. Fig 8]
And I'll know that under the gun, I am the one who's got the right to decide
[Rhy. Fig 1]
I'm gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
[Rhy. Fig 3]
I'm gonna go where I go, ain't takin' no my way
[Rhy. Fig 5]
And if you don't play my game I won't play, I'm gonna do it my way
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 6 then Rhy. Fig 10]
[Rhy. Fig 7]
I'm never gonna run, I'm never gonna tell myself a lie
[Rhy. Fig 8]
'Cause after it's all said and done, I've got the right to decide
[Rhy. Fig 1]
I'm gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
[Rhy. Fig 3]
I'm gonna go where I go, ain't takin' no my way
[Rhy. Fig 1]
I'm gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
[Rhy. Fig 3]
I'm gonna go where I go, ain't takin' no my way
[Rhy. Fig 1]
I'm gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
[Rhy. Fig 11]
I'm gonna go where I go, ain't takin' no my way

Yeah, I'm gonna do it my way, yeah, I'm gonna do it my way
